Chris_ Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Is todays stage going to give us the fastest ever average speed?! Or is everyone just too buggered...
Vetplant Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Is todays stage going to give us the fastest ever average speed?! Or is everyone just too buggered... Depends on who goes into the break me thinks.... As the peloton will judge their pace on them.
Shebeen Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Today it should be Ackerman or Demare ........ or Gibbons . yes, the points jersey is a 2horse race, and today is the day it gets decided. the winner then has to ride this on saturday if he wants to be awarded the jersey in verona The loser gets to go home.I think there might be some soft pedalling!

Jaco-fiets Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Carapaz is def the new best prospect for the future. With Landa moving to Merida, Movistar should fall over their feet to give him a substantial contract
TALUS Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I for one did....probably would have got it from multiple choice - should have tried that! Great Memories!!!!. I watched it in Balze as they came through...In full Dimension Data kit....Not much use for that these days...
Shebeen Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 just imagine what the dignatories/sponsors are doing. probably having massive parties because the sponsored nederburg surely ain't get used for rider celebrations
Long Wheel Base Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Carapaz is def the new best prospect for the future. With Landa moving to Merida, Movistar should fall over their feet to give him a substantial contractIt was mentioned a few pages back that there is a rumor Ineos had already signed him from next year some time ago.
Dirt Tracker Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Carapaz is def the new best prospect for the future. With Landa moving to Merida, Movistar should fall over their feet to give him a substantial contract With Quintana out of contract as well they have some decisions to go with. Heard that Fortunaeo -Samsic were looking to sign Carpaz and NQ together. I'm still scratching my head about Trek wanting to sign Nibs. He comes with a lot of baggage n' people and if he doesn't take the top step here I think his days of winning GTs are over. He feels like he's in that last 2 years of Contador stage at Trek where it was alot of bluster. I know it's crazy to say this as he's 2nd on GC and will podium at the Giro. Then again Trek didn't pull off a coup getting Ritchie Porte either.
Dirt Tracker Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 First break sticks today after a lot of attempts. Gibbons was interviewed about his chances on TV and looked slightly convinced and there is a TDD rider in the first 5 of the peloton for once. Break is: - Denz - Cima- Maestri and the peloton seem to want to freewheel the whole way down today after an opening average speed of 50kmh hour
Ispeed_V Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Lets hope First break sticks today after a lot of attempts. Gibbons was interviewed about his chances on TV and looked slightly convinced and there is a TDD rider in the first 5 of the peloton for once. Break is: - Denz - Cima- Maestri and the peloton seem to want to freewheel the whole way down today after an opening average speed of 50kmh hour Hope Gibo can pull something off. He deserves some free rain now that Nizolo is gone.
Eldron Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Who are the guys in white black and green with the hand shape on their back and BMC om their sleeves? Did they get a wild card or something? I did have a little moment of patriotism when they showed Ryan Gibbons' pic and mini profile!
worriesnot Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Yoh... what a finish! Proper nail biting stuff... happy one of the escapees managed to get the win.Nice to see a Saffa flag finish in the top 10. Good effort by Gibbo.
